‘Tit for Tat’ - Obama Admin official describes Bulgarian attack as ‘tit for tat’ reprisal
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 7/20/12 | staff

Posted on 07/20/2012 8:12:19 PM PDT by Nachum

In the aftermath of the bombing of a bus carrying Israeli tourists in Bulgaria, the Obama administration included an Iranian-American anti-Israel group in a White House meeting and characterized the terror attack as a “tit-for-tat” reprisal by Iran.

Wednesday, officials from the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC) attended a White House roundtable event for Iranian-American community leaders that featured Valerie Jarrett, one of President Obama’s closest advisers.

NIAC bills itself as an Iranian-American community organization, but its work focuses on softening U.S. policy toward Iran. It advocates removing sanctions on Iran and attempted to scuttle Dennis Ross’s promotion to an Iran policy role in the White House. A recent membership survey conducted by NIAC received only 500 responses.

The day before the White House meeting, NIAC’s president, Trita Parsi, who does not hold American citizenship, published an article in the Daily Beast alleging that Israeli leaders viewed the murder of their civilians in the Bulgaria bombing with satisfaction. ”US officials have privately expressed concern that one of the purposes of Israeli attacks in Iran has been to generate an Iranian response that could serve as a casus belli for Israel,” Parsi wrote. “That way, Israel could target Iran’s nuclear facilities without paying the heavy political cost of starting a preventive war.”

While Parsi speculated that the murder of tourists marked the achievement of an Israeli policy goal, a ”senior American official” quoted in the New York Times said the attack “was tit for tat”—retaliation for Israel’s alleged assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists.

The bomber had a fake Michigan driver’s license with a Louisiana address.

He was an Obama campaign worker.

The scary time will be when Israelis is finally convinced that they are truly on their own. Then they will have nothing to lose and the rest of the world, I’m afraid, will discover that Never Again is a lot more than a slogan.

a bus load of Jewish teenagers is “tit for tat?
I didnt realize that Israeli inteligence targeted civilaans especially children

Does this mean obama’s children (or Jarrett’s children) would be tit for tat if al Qaeda got revenge for their terrorists killed in predator attacks that are being personally ordered by obama ?

You’d pretty much have to hate Israel and the Jewish people to make such an evil, ignorant comment.

The children of the terrorists are sometimes killed, too.

If this is the way Obama sees things, then your conclusion is very logical to me.

Those who would exterminate Israel may in the end, be enlightened by “the light of a thousand suns.”. ..

Of course. It’s the same as the reason Obama’s buddy Ayers bombed and murdered. The victims had it coming.

Time for another PAC commercial against Obama.... Anti-Isreali, which by extension will definitely hurt the NASDAQ/S&P given the number of Fortune 500 companies in the Promised Land....

“Isreali leaders view the murders with satisfaction” .... What a monster.
